This is apparently a previsualization concept work done by an outside animation studio for Blizzard months ago. One of the employees apparently chose to take this home and leak it. It's clearly not a finished product, just some concept work, and they may have since changed their plans for the story. Seems plausible and this guy has some previsualization work for Iron Man 2 on his account that looks legit. Only time will tell if their plans have changed.

Kerrigan Arrives (SC2 HotS):
http://vimeo.com/14566171 - ActiBlizzard nuked
http://kotaku.com/5709838/ending-leaked-for-starcraft-iis-next-chapter

Kerrigan Dies (SC2 WoL cutscene previs with original superior voice actress):
http://vimeo.com/14564550 - ActiBlizzard nuked

Kerrigan Dies is almost identical to what ended up in Wings of Liberty, except for the change of voice actress, so Kerrigan Arrives might be pretty close to what we end up getting for Heart of the Swarm.

The company that made this video is apparently listed in the credits of Wings of Liberty.

I am not surprised the game ends like that. The Zerg are actually a bunch of enslaved creatures under the control of a human? I guess that one college interview of the Zerg was spot on.

This looks legit, the story could have been so much better

Please read my attempt to fix the story and tell me what you think.

That was really really awesome. I haven't finished the single player in either game, but still loved it.

So she turn back into a zerg, and wants to live with them. What a weirdo.

lol
looks kinda good for a concept but the time i heard the soundtrack which sounded like the transformers' in the first video i just had to laugh...
legit or not....i don't know, but looks kinda cool anyway...

+ Show Spoiler +

Ya I didn't like the story in WoL and HotS, if this is real, doesn't seem to be an improvement. Unfortunately, that's why I think it is real, a fan would do a better job.

Also, the voice actor for Raynor and Mengsk placeholder voices sound really familiar, pretty sure they're Warcraft voices, and the Kerrigan voice is the original Broodwar voice. Music can be placeholder, especially considering the early state of the animation.

if this video is real which i feel like it is then i'll simply give up on starcraft 2... i dont know what the hell Blizzard are thinking or what is wrong with them. this is eye gouging horrible and i dont mean the fact that it's a previz. i cannot believe how horrible the story is becoming.

time to block it out and consider anything that happened in sc2 "non-canon"

maaaaaan this was just to cheesy -_-, the zerg are now free. Like they didn't work under hiveminds before, like they cared before... And why is she getting infested yet again would be so much cooler with humanclothes and zerghair imo.

The sad part is it's 99% legit imho.
When we were playing WoL weren't we all like: "Hey, I've seen this on Youtube 2 years ago"
Working as intended.

People on other forums are saying it sounds like him too. Makes sense as a placeholder voice.

I'm more inclined to think this was a possibility for the WoL storyline and in the end, was scrapped. I could also be completely wrong and it really is the ending for HoTS.

Doubtful. WoL was Raynor's campaign, it wouldn't make sense for the final showdown to be Kerrigan vs Mengsk.

i feel like this got scrapped
the company would get in so much shit from blizzard if they leaked something like this to the public if it was going to get used in a future game
either way, the guy who leaked this is definitely going to get fired

I hope that isn't what's actually happening, that ending is incredibly LAME and sappy... really Blizzard I hope you won't roll with this happy lovy-dovy everyone lives happily ever after crap. I can find that in <insert random blockbuster of the year here>
